About this course

Introduces the disciplines, roles and activities of systems engineering and the traceable documentation of results from requirement to system architecture. The agenda covers systems engineering motivation and disciplines, system analysis and architecture; defining the system context and documenting the technical context; model-based documentation of requirements (information models, use case and activity diagrams, state machines); documenting a system architecture in SysML (black-box, white-box and further views); and NAFv4, its enterprise, capability and project levels, and how to do systems engineering with it, with examples. SOPHIST states that participants learn to explain ADMBw@NAFv4, the Bundeswehr architecture data model, build models to it and integrate its architecture management approach into modelling.

Runs online via Microsoft Teams; on-site delivery for teams is stated.

Who should attend

  • People who model architectures in defence-industry projects (audience as recorded on 31 Oct 2026)

Learning outcomes

  • Understand and apply systems engineering fundamentals, including typical roles, activities and the features of a successful development process.
  • Analyse and set the system context as the basis for eliciting requirements.
  • Document functional and non-functional requirements in natural language and with models.
  • Choose and use the main SysML diagram types, and describe system architectures with components, interfaces and allocated requirements.
  • Explain NAFv4 and ADMBw@NAFv4 and build models to it, integrating its architecture management approach into modelling.
